This weeks actual Listography! Top Christmas songs

I don't think I am alone in thinking 5 top tips for making yourself look younger posted over at Kate takes 5 was this weeks listography but we are wrong. This week listography is being hosted by the lovely These precious things and is along the Christmas theme. So my top 5 Christmas songs are:

  1. The Pogues and Kirsty McCall 'A fairy Tale of New York' - I have a listography rule which is never read anyone elses until I have posted mine but I have to confess that I did see this topping These precious things' list, however it is my number one as well, I associate it with Christmas, and to be fair it wouldn't be Christmas without hearing it.
  2. George Michael - Last Christmas I gave you my heart - This brings back very strong memories of one Christmas eve being with a friend in her car and both belting it out as we drove somewhere - I have no idea where though!
  3. Band Aid ' Do they know its Christmas' - I have very strong memories of Band Aid, staying a friends and being allowed to stay up late to watch it.
  4. Judy Garland 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' what more can I say, a true classic from the 1940's I think, remade countless times but never as good as the original.
  5. Jason mraz 'Winter Wonderland' - again a more recent one from the early 2000's but still one I'd be heard singing my heart out to (badly I might add).
I have enjoyed this little listography, I have surprised myself in thinking of quite a few others such as Mariah Carey 'All I want for Christmas is you', Sir Cliff Richard 'Misteltoe and Wine'. Mel and Kim 'Rockin around the Christmas Tree' and Kylie 'Santa baby'. oh and the Coca Cola advert music, that also signifies Christmas is truly here!

I've got Judy Garland aned Wham on my list too. Jason Mraz nearly made it on to mine too as did Band Aid. So many fabulous Xmas songs.

Ha! I was wondering when Last Christmas would come up. We have it too, but a very different version!
